Fantasy Flight Games Announce ‘Star Wars: Legion’ Launch Events March 22nd-25th

Tens of thousands of gamers are clamoring for the release of Star Wars: Legions, from Fantasy Flight Games, and it’s arrival is just around the corner. While some stores will begin demoing the game on March 8th, FFG has revealed a special weekend of launch events running March 22nd – 25th. The game of Star Wars tactical ground combat is one of the most highly anticipated releases of 2018. The core game is for two players, ages 14+, plays in around one to two hours, and will carry an MSRP of $89.95 when it arrives next month.

From FFG:

Grab your blaster and race to the nearest battle station. Our long-range scanners have detected enemy movement. The first battles of Star Wars: Legion are nearly here!

The Star Wars: Legion Core Set is slated to arrive at retailers on March 22nd, and you can celebrate your entry into the Star Wars galaxy’s greatest ground battles by participating in the Star Wars: Legion Launch Weekend.

Scheduled from March 22nd – 25th, and with activities running all weekend long, the Launch Weekend offers you and your friends a great chance to pick up your Core Set and dive into it alongside other enthusiastic players. Assemble your models, paint a figure or two, and fight your first battles. Participate in any or all of three distinct activites—a Step-by-Step Build & Play, Challenge Duels, and a Painting Contest.

Enjoy one or more of these activities. Win commemorative prizes. And bring a friend — the Star Wars: Legion Launch Weekend is the perfect time to start building your local play group!

You don’t need any prior experience with Star Wars: Legion to enjoy the Launch Weekend. But by the end of it, you’ll be ready to lead your infantry into the thickest of combats.

The Star Wars: Legion Launch Weekend consists of three separate activities, each of which comes with its own rewards—a Step-by-Step Build & Play, Challenge Duels, and a Painting Contest. You can participate in one, two, or all three of these events as you wish, but the more you attend, the more exclusive materials you can claim.
